I know the Met's now have one of the best starting rotations around but you still have to get on base, "move 'em over and get 'em home" to win games. You've got David Wright and Carlos Beltran. Your next two hitters are two Outfielders we gave you that couldn't make the cut. Of course if memory serves correct Angel Pagen (I still laugh at his name) is more of a homecoming going back to you guys.

You're forgetting one of the best SS in the league. Reyes was a big part of the offense last year, although he spoiled us the year before with his power hitting. That, seemed to disappear last year, but he stopped swinging at everything, and drew many walks.

Gotta love it when a walk turns into a double, more often than not.

There was talk of dealing him, and Wright for Santana originally, which would have made no sense.



During our "biggest choke in history" last year, we lost quite a few games, while scoring between 5-10 runs/game.

It wasn't our hitting that lost it last year, rather our pitching.


Let's hope it starts the same way this year.

We never had both Carlos' healthy at the same time last year. On those rare occasions when we did, we were animals on offense.


Beltran is an inspiration, but I notice he has no game whatsoever, while hurt. Let's hope he stays healthy.

I believe we dumped Loduca because of attitude problems, so maybe we can use Jomo behind the plate!

Still bitter about Beltran huh? Jose Reyes upped his on base percentage big time last year. Lo duca was great at moving him over. I think the Mets are 5/2 favorites to win the NL pennant. What are the cubbies again?
